Oh my. LOL. I will quite often track in baby slugs that hitch a ride on my boots. Edgar will even have baby slugs hitch a ride on his poofy leg fur. I was slightly grossed out because the slug I got in my hair was a bigger slug then the usual baby slugs. We do have ticks here but we have never been bothered by them yet. I would so do the screaming tearing off clothes things too. They ARE super gross. I'm getting the willies just thinking about them. That is a common occurrence for you?!? Oh my. LOL.

Probably because they were so ding dong annoying. I wont have a problem getting rid of the Lakenvelders as I was never that attached to them. I think I was slightly more worried about someone getting the hens and mistreating them. I didn't care if they were butchered or kept as pets otherwise. When I listed them I got a whole 3 responses and made 10 dollars off the 9 hens. Almost the cost of a bag of feed. I didn’t have a problem dispatching our roosters.

I was sad to see them go as they were all pretty sweet hens. Everyone except Jake. She was a really annoying spastic hen. If you don’t mind less eggs then its ok to keep your chickens as pets.

Right now we have a pretty young flock, mostly in their first year of laying, but there are a few who will be on there way out in the next year or two.

The kind that get slugs in their hair, and the kind that don't get slugs in their hair. The way I see it, if you never get a slug in your hair you're just not pushing the envelope.
